Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ankle range of motion(ROM), balance ability, and gait velocity of the ankle flexion when the joint Mobilization with Movement was applied. Method: Ankle joint ROM, balance ability(BBS), and gait velocity were examined before and after application. Result: In the experimental group, ROM of dorsiflexion and eversion increased significantly, the balance ability improved, and the gait velocity increased more than the control group(p<.05). Conclusion: Through this study, In addition to the symptoms of central nervous system damage in hemiplegic patients, it can be used as an effective treatment for reducing the limit of motion of the ankle due to secondary musculoskeletal problems and improving balance ability and gait velocity.
